Friends, who gets it?! I originally just wanted to grab a random bread for breakfast, but the moment I stepped into Michelle Bakery, I was completely stuck.
On one side, there's a dazzling array of traditional Indonesian snacks, Jajanan Pasar[1], so colorful they just look Mantap, and on the other side, all sorts of trendy Korean-style custom cakes[2]… I was hit with a serious case of decision paralysis right on the spot! 🤯
A Carb Lover's Paradise
This bakery is really interesting, not one of those cookie-cutter Instagrammable places, but more like a neighborhood gem that locals have been visiting since they were kids. The space inside is huge and bright, making for a very comfortable shopping experience, and the parking lot is massive, so there's no stress at all if you're driving[3].
Their bread is all about being fresh and fluffy, with that authentic "taste of home"[4]. I tried a few of their signature items for you guys:
- The legendary best cream puffs (Kue Sus)[5] in town, the vanilla filling is absolutely divine, sweet but not cloying, you can't stop at just one.
- A must-try for cheese lovers, the Kaastengels[6], the cheese flavor is so rich it's Anjay, fragrant and crispy, totally addictive!
- I saw several local families picking up birthday cakes, so it feels like they're really trusted by the neighborhood[7], from engagements to kids' birthdays, it's basically a one-stop shop for everything.
Real Talk Time
But I have to be honest about a couple of things. I was originally going for the coconut pie, Klappertaart, but after asking the staff, I found out it contains rum, so my Muslim friends, be sure to check the labels when you buy[8]!
Also, if you want to pay by card, there's a minimum spending requirement of 100,000 Indonesian Rupiah[9]. For someone like me who just wants to buy one or two pieces of bread, I just had to stick to cash.
